The crushing truth, the indictment, the judgment
the fall of Jerusalem, before the great I Am
the people forgetting, ignoring his commandments
turning to other gods, made by human hands
The prophet shouting, a relentless message
turn to the Lord, to the ancient of days
that we would be faithful
conformed to his covenant
the commands of God
all of our days

Conform to his law
Each of our hearts
the treasure of God
that we would change our ways
our hearts to him
conform to his law
all of our days
Not in empty words
falling to our knees
reciting text
others wrote for us
speaking with our hearts
with the substance of our days
looking to his law to guide our ways

His holy word
His holy word
guiding our steps
that we may walk in His ways
that the word of God
would lead us on
all the days of our lives
Mindful of his calling
his commands on our hearts
telling the whole world
of his love for us

Walk in His Ways
Not in empty motion
in hollow rituals
God wants faithfulness
fealty from his people
Walk in His ways
his commandments written
engraved on our hearts
leading our steps
Conform to his law
not the empty rituals
live before him
by his holy word

Forsaken the Lord
Like a prostitute her husband
the indictment of the people
that they had forsaken the Lord
following other gods
The judgment ripe
the coming fire
only a remnant to be saved
buried in the ground

Nothing Else
None of my possessions
none of my past,
my memories
nothing compares
with knowing Christ
Seeking him all of my days
working, in my faith,
striving to become
who I aspire to be
Only by his grace
only through his spirit
living within me
all else is trash
distractions of this earth
Keeping us from God
a relationship of value
infinite and abundant
as God has always wanted
from the garden to this day

Bewildered
Bewildered
standing there
cloaked in sadness
the rich man before the Christ
unable to follow
Following the ancient law
the letter yet not the spirit
challenged by the ties that bound him
unwilling to let go of his possessions
Watching them go
the disciples, those who would follow
left with his false piety
and surrounded by his things;
sadly, with rewards here alone

All of My gods
In the story of the rich man
the one who could not follow
told by Christ to sell it all
but unable to let go
his goods had become his gods
his possessions controlling
his focus not on the king
on his things on the earth
How sad, bewildered
though he followed the law
unable to follow the king
when he gave his heavenly call
Sell it, leave it, walk away
follow me instead
each and every day
